The utilization categories AC-1 and AC-3 defines making, breaking and continuous operation current rating for contactors. Based on these rating, contactor for switching of resistive loads and switching of squirrel…
An Ammeter is a device used to measure the current flow through a conductor. The name is derived from the unit of current, Ampere. This article explains why is ammeter…
Miniature circuit breakers commonly known as MCB, are mechanically operated switches cum circuit protection devices. It is an electro-mechanically operated automatic circuit protection device and is used to interrupt a…
MCB (Miniature circuit breaker) is a re-settable device designed to protect a circuit from short circuits and overcurrents. The trip curve of an MCB (B, C, D, K, and Z…
A contactor is a switching device, widely used for the switching of motors, capacitors (for power factor correction), and lights. As the name indicates it is used to make or…
RCCBs and RCBO are residual current protection devices. Residual current protection is achieved by monitoring the flow of current in the line and neutral. In a healthy circuit, the current…
